| I think this is one of those iconic phrases that in becoming part of common parlance has been stripped of its context. As people use it in everyday conversation, it is sincere; as used in the original play, there is the bitter irony that you note; and as used at the end of "Angels in America", both aspects of the phrase get exercised. |
